Thread: Questions Concerns For the Revamp
- Question: Where is camping going?
- Answer: Camping seems to have left us as there has been no notable points in the revamp doc plus the tiers dont seem to support it. Where are camps will go remains a mystery, but possibly if the devs do decide to move camps they will go to SL (rally points, group support etc) or Scout.

Firstly call me Drak (or Agon)
Believe me when i say that i am pushing for useful camps. Your ideas, combined with the Outdoorsman proposal would be extremely valuable contributions to the camping set.
However, with the new purpose of Rangers being essentially special operations type soldiers, camping as a Ranger skill will be moved to the scout profession. Rather than revamp camps as well, and make them as useful as you have suggested, my personal opinion is that they followed a very "in the box" thinking and just are going to move them.
I get the impression (though i could be wrong) that the movement of camps to scout is pretty much set in stone, and any further improvements in camping would be done to enhance scout in the future and not rangers.
I hate the fact that camps are essentially useless, and want them to be enhanced. However, I know that this would be very low on the priority scale on the devs' timetable.
(But that wont stop me from bringing it up when i can)
Thanks
gotta agree with Phenix here. In this new incarnation of Ranger, i think large-scale camps would be overkill. Since a New-Ranger will be more of a stealthy recon military unit that would most likely work alone (sounds alot like current rangers though), a New-Ranger would have little use for a HUGE camp, as it's just overkill for a lone soldier. Squad Leader would make alot more sense, as a large camp like a HTFB would make for a great rally point for a squad of troops before an attack.

I'd agree with the Bothan and the bug too (oh dear!). With the changes as proposed for Ranger, camps should really be in Scout or SL. I'd LOVE to see scouts and SL eventually get the modular camp idea (someone should get it, it's a great idea!).
Tho I really will miss my HTFB ,and having my own crafting station. Now I need to try and find a MDE that hasn't quit (so far everyone one I have contacted has) to build a storage droid w/a crafting module in it, since our stuff will be experimentable, but that's only good if we have a crafting station... and I did soooo want to have a Ranger quest for the Rodian hunter camp. Maybe Scout will get that...

camps > all
Dekiion let me contact a guild DE he has taken a vactaion lately but let me see if he can crank out a couple of crafting droids and I will shoot one your direction.

I read somewhere in the forums that traps are not going to be usable in cities. This is wrong. I can see many instances of bombs in cities... I mean traps. To take out enemy combatants. They already said they would work on creatures this is the only other issue I have with traps. As most Bases are located in cites this would make ranger worthless for defense.

If he's interested in the business, just point me in the right direction. I've got some droids I need that have to do stuff (like crafting & storage) plus some needs for "chassis only" for decorating. Gotta get that POB decked OUT to impress thelovelyTwi ladies. 
I will try to get as much info back to all you Rangers out there ASAP.
One more question.
I read that we would be using bio signatures for triggering devices. Since we are losing area tracking will be be gaining the use of Bounting Hunter tracking droids?
What droids if any will we require.

We are supposed to be using Imperial Tracking Satellites...I can only guess what that implementation will be like (Sounds a lot like BH tracking droids to me...). It will be interesting to see what our tracking turns into. It sounds a lot like we need to have found the target at least sometime before we need to track it
